TESTIMONIALS
Assessment
“The training I have received from you has proved to be extremely helpful in working with my team. The direction we started by reviewing the 360 has really helped identify some areas where I would not have focused previously. Taking the 360 and modeling a class around areas where I could use assistance worked excellent toward my development. The emphasis on personal productivity and coaching for high performance were highlights and I use those strategies on a day-to-day basis”
-Vice President Operations, Manufacturing

For years we had struggled to gain momentum and we knew we needed help and that we should start with the management team. It was a perfect fit—like the military; she challenged us and rebuilt us.

-Vice President GM, Manufacturing
“My team all gave positive feedback to the process and the items that they have taken from the development program. In fact, most individuals immediately request further training with you. The greatest benefit the team has realized is a common understanding of how to coach people effectively and the use of similar tools in productivity. It has been echoed more than once of how important it was for my team to work together with you.”
-General Manager, Manufacturing
“I cannot say enough about how the training has helped in my day-to-day activities at work, and has even spilled over into my home life. As a group, we learned about motivation, productivity, success, goals, communication, empowerment, coaching and more. But I must say the area that we are still buzzing about today, is how this training has brought our management group together as a true team. We learned so much about each other through this process including what motivates each of us and what our communication style is. This has resulted in a more productive, more unified group.”
Coaching
“I have used Cindy's services in a career coaching capacity. I learned time management and project management skills. I loved Cindy's approach as she taught me practical strategies that I immediately implemented in my day-to-day work that made a positive impact (as opposed to other consultants/trainers that provide philosophy that is unrealistic, theoretical rhetoric!). So much of what Cindy taught me has helped me to achieve successful results on subsequent projects. If you are looking for someone to help you advance personally, professionally and organizationally, I would encourage you to utilize Cindy's talents. It's a decision you won't regret and one you will want to share with others.”

-Vice President GM, Manufacturing
“Through the coaching process learning how to effectively understand the styles of my staff and how to utilize asking the “open-ended” questions has improved my effectiveness as a leader and made the staff able to work more independently.

This has helped each of them grow and freed up my time.”
-General Manager, Manufacturing
“The purpose of my coaching was to provide tools and resources to handle several complex
management issues associated with leading and changing a very old and complacent business.

-Vice President GM, Manufacturing

Seminars

The efficiency we have gained with shared calendars, task delegation, meeting invites, and planning daily/weekly have paid off in accomplishing goals. OneNote has been awesome in helping us manage projects, staff and our Tactical plan to get the result on time.

I highly recommend Cindy to any individual or company looking for these type services!”

“Your presentation of the material was extremely important. Your ability to access individuals and adjust to their needs quickly, professionally and appropriately for every situation was invaluable in the training process. We would not have received the same level of benefits without you as trainer. From the training the enthusiasm my co-worker and I have over the training enticed our fellow employees to learn what we were doing because they saw results. The techniques and processes we learned from the training were easy to carry over to the entire unit.”
-Business Unit Manager, Manufacturing
“All of my managers agree that because of the training there was a renewed sense of enthusiasm. The goal setting session was very rewarding and gave us the insight we were previously missing.

Your training has helped tremendously at this very critical time of growth.”
-General Manager, Manufacturing
“Even though, when I started out, I was not sure what I would get out of the seminar; at the end, I was very impressed with the results in terms of how I began to manage my time effectively on a regular basis. The practices the seminar introduces to follow daily, weekly and monthly help squeeze out time from a seemingly impossible schedule. Eventually, I was able to get more awareness of my daily routine, put actions in their proper time and place, and have time to deal with emergencies at a more productive pace.”
-Engineering Manager, Manufacturing
Education
“Cindy Beutke and LuAnn Shields did a fabulous job of facilitating thoughtful and sometimes hard conversations with the teams. They continually challenged us to consider what we do to impede growth within our programs while empowering us to take leadership for reaching our program goals, mission, and vision. It was a privilege to work with such outstanding facilitators. It was well worth the time and money!”
